What's her name?

[Kit]

I have found a 1844 baptism for a daughter to John and Sarah Bridges on Ancestry's London births and baptisms records.

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=View&r=5538&dbid=1558&iid=31362_190772-00060&fn=sarah&ln=bridges&st=d&ssrc=&pid=143259

The only thing is part of the image is missing - the child's name.

I'm not good on geography so I can't narrow it down on FreeBMD.

Can anyone help?

I also found it on familysearch:

Still not helpful. :-(

This seems to be the only likely registration. At first I was surprised to se it was the same Q as the birth as so many people waited the full six weeks to register, but if she was born in the workhouse they probaby made an effort to get the registrations don:

Births Sep 1844
BRIDGES Sarah St.Geo.Southk. 4 419

Named for her mother, presumably.

This looks like them in 1851:

HO107; Piece: 1566; Folio: 59; Page: 44

Was dad a shoemaker on the baptism?

Just off to have a look Merry. The baptism doesn't have an occupation for Dad.

[Merry]

Oh Doh! It's a birth record, rather than a baptism. I still think that's them in 1851 though....

John 48 shoemaker b Beds (Bedfordshire!)
Sarah 38 b Ireland
Thomas 11 b Hants, Southampton
Sarah 6 b St George, Surrey
John 1 b Norwich, Norfolk

living at 230 Kent St, Newington, Surrey

You did find the family on the 1851 but it's not my family Merry. I thought my 2g grandfather had another sister. :-(

Thanks for working out her name and thus letting me determine she wasn't mine.

[Merry]

I'm quite glad they are not yours as they seem untraceable in 1841 and 1861!

Well that bit does sound like my family. lol
